UP TO $12,000 in financial support is on offer for students enrolled in medical, nursing, midwifery, dentistry, Aboriginal health and allied health degrees across NSW.
The new round of applications for the Tertiary Health Study Subsidies Program opened on 28 January.
This year, support will be available for up to 4,000 students across the state.
“More than 7,900 healthcare students across NSW have already accessed financial support through this Program, and even more will benefit in 2026,” Health Minister Ryan Park said.
The program is designed to create a future pipeline of health workers by supporting students with fees, technology, travel, and other costs related to their studies.
Successful students who are at the start of their degree will receive subsidies of $4,000 per year over three years. Graduating students will receive one-off payments of $8,000 after acceptance of employment for a position within NSW Health.
Students must be willing to make a five-year commitment to working in the NSW public health system.
There are a limited number of subsidies available, and applications will remain open until all subsidies are awarded.
